W. . ..: (
It was one year ago tomorrow that a mercury-hoofed mail
man, surnamed "Special Delivery" Jones, delivered a 15 sec
ond day telegram over 75 yards of Memorial Stadium turf.
We speak naturally of the manner Pitt triumphed over
Nebraska with 15 seconds left here last year. Prior to the spe
cial delivery, the score stood. 7 to 7. Seven minutes had elapsed
during the fourth canto and the Huskers led, 7 to 0, via a bit
of ball-toting: wizardry by Dale Bradley.
A 72 yard march downfield in the second quarter accounted
for the Huskor marker. A chilled crowd started filing from the
stadium midway in the fourth period before the Panthers had
even threatened. Why linger longer? Those Huskers were push
ing the Panthers all over the field.
Stauncher members of the crowd wished later they hadn't
stayed to witness the delivery of Mr. Jones' heart-breaking tele
gram. To add insult to injury, Jones even speaved a last -second
Howard Debus pass and galloped to the Ilusker 4-yard stripe as
the gun sounded.
"Jf there's going to be any deliveries made Saturday,"
we'll handle 'cm ourselves," commented one Ilusker at the
station.
We could vision the countenance of our pecuniary expert,
John Selleck, when he gazed over the menu at the hotel where
the Huskers quartered last eve in Chicago.
Breakfast bill (per head) amounted to $1.25, luncheon was
worth and dinner came to $4. Mr. Selleck 's new position as
university finance secretary kept him from taking the jaunt.
Bill Pficff put his frosh gridslers through a lengthy scrim
mage session yesterday. Some 50 of the city's grid enthusiasts
climbed to the battle scene to sec what they could sec.
Fans sighted to 1943 prospects and had occasion to gloat
more than once. They saw such backfield talent as Wayne's
Kessler, Jimmy Myers, the York all-stater, and big Gene Boeh
mer of Lincoln high exhibit their wares.
Frosh line candidates arc a brawny group. Ends Jack Tcsek
and Carl Samue.lson, tip the scales over 200 lbs., and their heft
is somewhat a reflection of the beef on the hoof in these parts.
A new grid predictcr loomed across yon horizon yesterday.
This predictcr, without drinking a drop of you know what,
chose Indiana to trip Kansas State by some 00-odd points.
Jeannie Browne, " 'Tnroht Browne's daughter, is our
new ace. Follow her efforts elsewhere in our prediction box and
then place your bets. You'll be a cinch for two outlooks: 1. Life
in a poorhouse; 2. Life in a nut house.
Breakway Ace
Finally Found
At Oklahoma
NORMAN, Okla. Nov. 12. As
Oklahoma conies up to her cli
mactic Missouri test here Satur
day, Coach Dewey "Snorter" Lus
ter may have found that which
the Sooners have needed so des
perately all season, a fast break
away back.
The lad's name is Leroy ' Train
Whistle" Neher, crazy-legged lit
tle sophomore wingback from Al
tus, Okla., and before the Kansas
State game last week, he had been
running the britches off the fresh
men all week trying to convince
the coaches he could tote the
melon."
Own Play-Maker.
A surprisingly competent defen
sive back for a sophomore, Neher
might now be playing regularly
for the Sooners if he didn't have
the disastrous habit of making up
his own plays. Fast and shifty, he
is also the most unpredictable
back on the Sooner squad.
Carrying the ball for the first
time in his varsity career two
weeks ago against Iowa State,
Neher nearly scored on a reverse,
tearing off Oklahoma's longest
run from scrimmage, a fast, giddy
gallop of 29 yards during which
it seemed Neher was hit 29 times
by Cyclone tacklcrs, none of whom
ever got him down.
Hits Own Tackle.
But Neher ruined his touchdown
chance by running over the last
man between him and the Ames
goal, ponderous Chris Lambert,
his own right tackle.
Neher tried to fake the burly
Lambert out of his path as he had
brilliantly faked the Iowa Staters,
and might have succeeded had he
not changed his mind the last min
ute and with characteristic reck
lessness turned the fake into a
double fake, a fatal maneuver that
pulled the confused Sooner tackle
back into his route, spilling both.
Evans Causes
Cyclone Worry
AMES, Iowa, Nov. 12 "Stop
Evans!" will continue to be the
battle cry right Etraight through
the week for the Cyclones of Iowa
State.
"We'll spend nearly all our
time on ways and means of stop
ping Ray Evans," Coach Mike
Michalske announced yesterday.
"We can't expect to bottle up
Kansas f Evans is connecting,
so we've got to figure out some
means of breaking up his passes."
Kansas has completed almost
every other pass thrown this year
and Evans has done 95 percent of
the hurling. Before last week's
game against Washington the
Jayhawks ranked seventh in the
nation in passing efficiency and

Evans ranked first among indi
viduals. Just what methods he'll finally
decide upon Michalske would not
say, nor was it apparent from
scrimmage sessions that he would
concentrate on any one defeflse.
Most prominently mentioned was
the method employed by Okla
homa to stop the Cyclone's own
aerial circus a concentrated
rushing of the passer.
